What did you just learn from God's word about fighting?

“What did you just learn from God’s word about FIGHTING?”

If you have a child participating in our Wednesday night summer program, “Watts of Fun Wednesdays”, they would probably have come home and told you we talked about FIGHTING!  They had a blast Wednesday having a food fight, with whip cream and cheeto’s!!  You normally don’t hear the word fun and fight in the same sentence, but they sure did have fun with that food fight!!!

When we sat down with the kids for counsel time, it is just amazing to me how much, even as a child, that they can decipher the word of God.  The leader that night, simply opened up her child training bible (CTB) and started with the first tab for fighting.  She would read the verse, and ask the kids….”What did you just learn from God’s word?”…..you would think silence, but NO….they all would say key words and meanings to the verse that they just heard!!  AMAZING!!!

Fighting can be such a deterrent and a true discouragement to parents, but don’t let that happen to you!!  Use this awesome tool that we have provided you with, that your child made, and show them what God says about fighting and how we should handle ourselves in all situations.

One of the kids favorite verses, was Proverbs 30:32, “If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth!”…..they all practiced clapping their hand over their mouth.  When I got home that night, my niece was getting a little fed up with my son and wanted to snap back, and all of a sudden she just clapped her hand over her mouth.  As much as I wanted to laugh, I didn’t, I just simply said what’s going on?  Her reply, “God didn’t want me to be mean.”  Your children, get it, they completely get it!!  When God’s word is fed into them, they do hear you and the voice of our Lord and Savior.

Continue to promote peace within your family, by choosing to fight back, not with your own tongue, but with GOD’S WORD.

I want to encourage you to challenge your children, to recite to you our theme verse for VBS this year, Romans 12:2…many can already do this!!!  We asked them nightly at VBS and we ask them every Wednesday night!!
